O
Eternal and Most Gracious God, thy Holy Apostle St Paul was shipwrecked
thrice, and yet still saved. Though the rocks and the sands, the
heights and the shallows, the prosperity and the adversity of this
world do diversely threaten me, yet O God, let me never make shipwreck
of faith and good conscience. And thy long-lived, thy everlasting
mercy will visit me, though that which I earnestly pray against should
fall upon me, a relapse into those sins which I have truly repented and
thou hast fully pardoned.
THE CHOIR AT ST PAUL'S

The choir rehearses in the undercroft starting around 10.00 am.
Visiting choir members are most welcome to join the choir whilst in Malta. Please make yourself known to the sidespersons who will conduct you to the choir vestry where you will be given music and a robe.
THE EVENTS COMMITTEE
The Events Committe meets on a regular basis to discuss and organise a comprehensive series of social events, meeting from time to time with the Guild at Holy Trinity Church to co-ordinate the programme for the Anglican Church throughout the year.
New members on the Events Committee are always welcome
The unified Cathedral Chapter of the Diocese in Europe was created by an episcopal declaration in February 1997. It replaces the former separate chapters of the cathedral and pro-cathedral churches, though the Chapter stalls are dispersed among those churches. The function of the Cathedral Chapter is to support the Bishop by prayer and counsel.
The word Canon means a yard-stick, in old times a rule to live by. Canons are so-called because they belong to a body that lives by a rule of worship and service.
